The Bavarians are a German people from Bavaria, Germany. They are the inheritors of the Bavarii[citation needed], which occupied modern-day Bavaria and its surroundings in Roman times.
Bavarians are identified:
- by birth or residence in the Freestate of Bavaria
- by language and culture (Austro-Bavarian dialects, History of Bavaria, Bavarian culture).
There exists a political party called Bayernpartei which calls for a distinct Bavarian citizenship.
